    I don't mind the FOC characters. I'm looking forward to Jazz, Shockwave, and Bruticus. I would like to see more G1 Classics, but for the most part, I've met my quota.

    Eh, I don't collect Classics anymore, so I don't mind. What I do mind is that Hasbro needs to release a FOC version of Megatron. I've sold off my WFC toys because of the FOC toys, and I'm hoping we get a Megatron out of this.

    Sorry to say this but since when I was collecting later waves from before,it was wheeljack warpath and the 2 movie wreckers that were available at retail,I'm just going to enjoy what hasbro offered over the few decades .there just isn't enough play value and aside that there scaling them down in assortments.

    PS3's are now only $200.00 at Gamestop and Amazon so there's no better time to get one since people are still playing WFC online when ever I log in. Plus FOC isn't coming to PC anyway correct me if I'm wrong.

    Scouts are dead. However, now it's at least possible to put them both in a Generations Voyager box.

    The OTHER problem is that we are already getting TWO Rumbles this year.

    They were surprised to get the question; this at least twigs them that there's interest.

    Getting two different figures of the same name in the same year is nothing new. ROTF had TWO Dead Ends that were not related outside of the name, and Animated Ratchet was the reason Universe 2.0 Ratchet ended up in the rare Wave 6 case of Universe 2.0.

    What makes you think I have $200 to spare? I'm just barely funding my hobby now with the few commissions I have on my plate, and the figures are always in double digits. I've been meaning to get a new computer for the last decade, but I've never been able to afford it.

    I like that voyager Soundwave design. Looks great.

    I'm not sold on the Prime, Jazz or Bruticus set. They looks nice, but aren't my cup of tea and I'll be passing on them. I have the first game Prime which is a great figure and that's good enough for me.

    You might need a less expensive hobby too if you want to afford that PC.

    Hey now! WFC Prime is a smashed cardboard box with wheels and a ramp!

    They don't like 3rd party products on account of the fact they're highly illegal in the first place, so...there's that...

    Some TFA in Gens would be quite interesting. And I too dislike that it's been really just G1, and G1 videogames. And that they cheat a bit when it comes to other lines. The only G2 product we got was Inferno....who's also G1. Give us some beasts. Give us Deathsaurus and Star Saber and stuff. Give us some UT. Give us a few oddball releases.


    You're correct. There's no PC release for FOC.

    If you don't have $200 to spare, how're you going to afford a $1000+ computer?

    Besides getting a part time job in addition to what you do, obviously.
